This tiny cottage in Australia got a whole lot bigger once some walls were taken down. Open concept floor plans are a great idea in small spaces! New Atlas reported that, "All internal walls in the original structure were demolished, so that what was once a minuscule dwelling now functions as a well-proportioned living space." Adding large windows and plants are also great ways to brighten up a space and make it feel bigger. It is incred-inline-blockle how small spaces can transform with a little bit of work!
